The government is not bold enough in its Internet strategy, and should do more to give the UK the network you need

that will make uncomfortable reading for ministers, but the House of Lords report on the national strategy to accelerate and expand the UK network of broadband should be taken very seriously.

If implemented, practical suggestions proposed could trigger a wave of new funding to help many remote communities desperate to get online more quickly and make it more likely to result in current plans.

Broadband for all - an alternative view is the result of a six-month investigation by the Committee of Lords communication that was in testing regulators, technicians and businesses ranging from small projects BT community such as broadband in Great Asby Cumbria.

and the conclusion is that the government is not being brave enough. The current goal of reaching speeds of 24 Mbps to 90% of the country by the year 2015 or 2017 - the deadline is not clear - can get more bandwidth than most homes need TODAY 'Today

However, the speed at which the Internet has evolved in the past, demand doubles every year or two, suggests that the house takes on average two or three times the speed to come by in 2020.

to offer connections become faster, the Lords committee concluded that several technologies will be needed than are currently paying for the government and installed by BT. And he is worried about the final 10% of households, more difficult to achieve in the UK.

is far from certain that the government's goal to give these rural areas, with a minimum of 2 Mbps and it barely covers the minimum needs of the average family today.

not be enough in 2015 for home workers, or families with teenagers who do their homework, watch videos, and calls to friends on Skype.

Figure 2 Mbps was chosen because it is the minimum necessary to offer Internet television, but things are changing. TalkTalk budget YouView Internet TV service, launched in late July, requires a minimum connection 3Mbps.

BT has pledged to match every pound invested by the government with their own money, and spend 2.5 billion pounds the deployment of fiber to more easily reach two-thirds of the United Kingdom without the subsidy. This is a big commitment and BT may withdraw if changes in the competitive landscape.

BT works fast. 26m 11m has already improved housing in the UK with the fiber to the street cabinet. But current plans in the coming years, much of its broadband network are still based on copper old son to carry the signal of the cabinet at home.
Copper not often in bad weather, leaving rural users without service for hours at a time. Also decreases speeds down. And it can carry signals over long distances, leaving the isolated houses that depend on basic dial-up internet.
